The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

Claire's company is starting to grow, so when her business starts to make money, she will give you all her money for safekeeping, and you will be the financial power of our family, okay?" 6

Jacob started to feel a little relieved when he heard the idea. He figured that since he couldn't be in the upper hand now, it would end up bad if he bumped his head against her, hence, the better option right now was to compromise and accept the proposed solution. 1
